Fixed Issues:
– The crop overlay tool resized incorrectly when used in conjunction with the “Constrain to Crop” checkbox in the Lens Correction panel.
– Background graphics were not correctly rendered within the Book Module.
– The supplied lens profile for the Sony RX-1 did not contain vignette information.
– Previews of photos in portrait orientation were blurry when viewed in the filmstrip in the Develop module. (Mac only)
– Stack badges displayed the wrong count when creating new stack that included a preexisting stack.
– The Filter scrollbar within the Library module was not rendering properly.
Adobe Lightroom 4.4 retails for US$149.00 and requires an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.6 or later to install and run.
